Welcome to PEARC20! PEARC20’s theme is “Catch the Wave.” This year’s theme embodies the spirit of the community’s drive to stay on pace and in front of all the new waves in technology, analytics, and a globally connected and diverse workforce. We look forward to this year’s PEARC20 virtual meeting, where we can share scientific discovery and craft the future infrastructure.
The conference will be held in Pacific Time (PT) and the times listed below are in Pacific Time.
The connection information for all PEARC20 workshops, tutorials, plenaries, track presentations, BOFs, Posters, Visualization Showcase, and other affiliated events, are in the PEARC20 virtual conference platform, Brella. If you have issues joining Brella, please email pearcinfo@googlegroups.com.
As a sequel to the successful workshop delivered at PEARC19 in Chicago, we will continue to explore the impact that people bring to advancing the use of commercial cloud computing in research. This year, the workshop will provide insights into not only the Humans Advancing Research in the Cloud (HARC) project from the Pervasive Technology Institute at Indiana University, but also the National Institutes of Health Science and Technology Research Infrastructure for Discovery, Experimentation, and Sustainability (STRIDES) Initiative. Representatives from both programs will present sessions to attendees about the initiatives, including description of offerings, experiences, and perspectives relevant to the community of cloud research support personnel. Papers and presentations will be solicited from the broader PEARC community (as was done in last year's workshop) to add to the agenda, offering perspectives and experiences from those who provide the human support behind use of cloud offerings to advance research.
